Train your mind to think positively

I wanted to rip my headphones out of my ears and erase the damage it had done immediately. I’m always quite careful with what I put into my mind, and if I find a long affirmation / hypnosis video or audio, I will skip through it and listen to sections to do a quality control before I listen at length, especially if I am going to use it while I sleep.

I’m pretty fussy about the voice, the words used, the music… I often think I’d be better to just record my own. It took me a while to find, though recently I found an affirmations vid that I liked.

I’ve been listening to its 1,000 affirmations while I sleep, though this morning when I decided to listen, I was horrified to hear this:

“I’m not a quitter, I keep trying no matter what.”

Neuro-linguistic wise, there are two major things very wrong with this if you want to succeed.

Your unconscious mind understands only straight forward talk, negations (not, no, won’t, don’t etc.) are not taken in. Think about the last time someone said “Don’t look” to you. All that you wanted to do was to look, because they had commanded your mind to do so.
